    You'll need the original installation CD, it's the only way.

    For a great FREE alternative try www: OpenOffice.org - The Free and Open Productivity Suite it's what I use at home.

    Yes I already use and have open office, I downloaded the latest 2.4.1 today as well but the issue is that most people I send my documents to can't open it, since they do not have open office installed...

    You need to save the document as a .doc, in fcat you can make it the default 'save as' document type:
    Configure, Change or Set OpenOffice.org to Default Save Files in Microsoft Office Formats » My Digital Life
